We are proud to support organizations empowering women's economic development and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs.

World Bicycle Relief (WBR) mobilizes people through The Power of Bicycles by helping people conquer the challenge of distance to access education, healthcare, goods and services more easily. With a bicycle, school attendance is increased by 28% and healthcare providers are able to see 45% more patients. Bike Zambia riders have donated hundreds of bicycles to students and healthcare providers, making a real impact in people’s daily lives.
